Marcio Kogan

Brazil (1952)

An archi­tect with his roots in film, Marcio Kogan has made a name for himself as a Brazil­ian designer with a modern aesthetic. In 2011, his body of work was honored by the Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Archi­tects (AIA), and he was given an honorary member­ship in the orga­ni­za­tion. His designs play with the simplic­ity of form, the corre­la­tion of volume and the rela­tion­ship between inter­nal and exter­nal spaces. This is evident in his product design as well as his archi­tec­ture. His design of the Super Bowl is an example of simplic­ity and a play on mate­ri­als, with Brazil­ian rubber paired with copper. Kogan’s archi­tec­tural work includes the B&B House in Sao Paulo and the Redux House in Bragança Paulista, Brazil.
